Team Biden will hit Kamala with ‘Palinesque’ attacks if she talks of cognitive decline: report

August 2, 2025 | | Print Article

Word through the grapevine is that former President Joe Biden’s team is prepared to trash-talk former Vice President Kamala Harris if she starts talking about her ex-boss’s clear-cut mental decline.

This was revealed by veteran political analyst and journalist Mark Halperin this Friday on his “2Way” podcast.

Listen:

“I’m going to break a little news here, okay?” he began. “We talk all the time about what did Kamala Harris know and when did she know it about his cognitive decline. If the Biden people decide that Kamala Harris is coming after Joe Biden, wait till you hear the ‘Palinesque’ stories about how much they tried to help her be prepared to be vice president and be in a position to run — and how much they decided: not happening, she’s not up to this.”

That remark was in reference to former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who was brutally mocked by the press both during and after the 2008 presidential election.

“And if the Biden people feel threatened, you will hear stories about Kamala Harris as vice president that will not make her look good, okay?” Halperin continued. “So there’s a closeness to the couples — it’s not like they’re at war currently — but I’m telling you, if Joe Biden feels threatened, if his people feel threatened by her, this is going to escalate in a big way.”

“And she will have a hard time defending against the stories if that dam bursts. They were extraordinary in trying to help her do the job of vice president. They gave her every opportunity. And they found in some instances that she had some issues,” he concluded.

The remarks from Halperin came only a few short days after Harris announced that she’s written a book about her 2024 presidential campaign run that’s coming out in September:

It’s believed Halperin’s remarks were mainly focused on the book and what might be in it, including possible tidbits about Biden’s health.

However, thus far, Harris has never trash-talked her former boss. If anything, she’s propped him up in ways that are clearly fictitious.

Last October, she told the dingbat hosts of “The View” that she wouldn’t have run the country any differently than Biden had she been president.

“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact, the work we have done, for example, capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month for our seniors,” she rambled.

That same month, she told NBC News that she had nothing “critical” to say about Biden’s policies.

“I need to be very candid with you,” she said. “Even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents. I think that really actually, in terms of the tradition of it and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship … Going forward, there is no question that I’d bring my own experiences and my own life experiences.”

The irony is that Biden’s team has had no qualms about trashing her.

“Journalists Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper detail some of the frustrations Biden loyalists had with the VP in their recent book, ‘Original Sin,'” according to the New York Post. “In the book, Harris was described as a ‘regular headache’ for the White House, according to Biden people.”
